Dataset for an “unstructured” experiment#

Let’s take consider a Surface Code experiment, in particular the one portrayed in Fig. 4b from one of the papers from DiCarlo Lab [Marques et al., 2021].

For simplicity, we will not use exactly the same schedule, because what matters here are the measurements. It is difficult to deal with the results of these measurements because we have a few repeating cycles followed by a final measurement that leaves the overall dataset “unstructured”.

../../../_images/surface-7-sched.png

How do we store all the shots for this measurement? We might want this because, e.g., we know we have an issue with leakage to the second excited state of a transmon and we would like to be able to store and inspect raw data.

To support such use-cases we will have a dimension in the dataset for the repeating cycles and one extra dimension for the final measurement.

Dataset for a “nested MeasurementControl” experiment#

Now consider a dataset that has been constructed by an experiment involving the operation of two MeasurementControl objects. The second of them performs a “meta” outer loop in which we sweep a flux bias and then perform several experiments to characterize a transmon qubit, e.g. determining the frequency of a read-out resonator, the frequency of the transmon, and its T1 lifetime.

Below we showcase what the data from the dataset containing the T1 experiment results could look like

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
rng = np.random.default_rng(seed=112244)  # random number generator

num_t1_datasets = 7
t1_times = np.linspace(0, 120e-6, 30)

for tau in rng.uniform(10e-6, 50e-6, num_t1_datasets):
    probabilities = exp_decay_func(
        t=t1_times, tau=tau, offset=0, n_factor=1, amplitude=1
    )
    dataset = dataset_examples.mk_t1_av_with_cal_dataset(t1_times, probabilities)

    round_trip_dataset(dataset)  # confirm read/write
    dataset_g = dh.to_gridded_dataset(
        dataset, dimension="main_dim", coords_names=["t1_time"]

    # rotate the iq data
    rotated_and_normalized = rotate_to_calibrated_axis(
        dataset_g.q0_iq_av.values, *dataset_g.q0_iq_av_cal.values
    )
    rotated_and_normalized_da = xr.DataArray(dataset_g.q0_iq_av)
    rotated_and_normalized_da.values = rotated_and_normalized
    rotated_and_normalized_da.attrs["long_name"] = "|1> Population"
    rotated_and_normalized_da.attrs["units"] = ""
    rotated_and_normalized_da.real.plot(ax=ax, label=dataset.tuid, marker=".")
ax.set_title("Results from repeated T1 experiments\n(different datasets)")
_ = ax.legend()

Since the raw data is now split among several datasets, we would like to keep a reference to all these datasets in our “combined” datasets. Below we showcase how this can be achieved, along with some useful xarray features and known limitations.

We start by generating a mock dataset that combines all the information that would have been obtained from analyzing a series of other datasets.

The MultiIndex is very handy for selecting data in different ways, e.g.:

index = 2
dataset_multi_indexed.qubit_freq.sel(
    qubit_freq_tuids=dataset_multi_indexed.qubit_freq_tuids.values[index]
)

Known limitations#

Unfortunately, at the moment the MultiIndex has the problem of not being compatible with the NetCDF format used to write to disk:

try:
    assert dataset_multi_indexed == round_trip_dataset(dataset_multi_indexed)
except NotImplementedError as exp:
    print(exp)
variable 'main_dim' is a MultiIndex, which cannot yet be serialized. Instead, either use reset_index() to convert MultiIndex levels into coordinate variables instead or use https://cf-xarray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coding.html.

We could make our load/write utilities take care of setting and resetting the index under the hood. Though there are some nuances there as well. If we would do that then some extra metadata needs to be stored in order to store/restore the multi-index. At the moment, the MultiIndex is not supported when writing a Quantify dataset to disk. Below we show a few complications related to this.

Fortunately, the MultiIndex can be reset back:

dataset_multi_indexed.reset_index(dims_or_levels="main_dim")

all(dataset_multi_indexed.reset_index("main_dim").t1_tuids == dataset.t1_tuids)

True

But, for example, the dtype has been changed to object (from fixed-length string):

dataset.t1_tuids.dtype, dataset_multi_indexed.reset_index("main_dim").t1_tuids.dtype

(dtype('<U26'), dtype('<U26'))
dataset.t1_tuids.dtype == dataset_multi_indexed.reset_index("main_dim").t1_tuids.dtype

True
